S10 Canary 0 Posted May 23, 2013 I''m sure I saw a few comments on here about the fit of the new shirt but can''t track them down again. Apologies for the repeat thread. Anyway, what are people''s opinions on the fit of the new shirt? I bought a M last season and it seemed ok but maybe a little to baggy (i''m quite tall but a bag of bones) so I was toying with risking going for a small. Anyone else get a medium last season and the new one in M too? If so i''d be grateful of your thoughts on how the two compare. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted May 23, 2013 It is a real pain trying to guess these things from afar - I''ve held off getting kits for my boys (8 and 6) as no idea what the sizes come up like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viva Marc Libbra 0 Posted May 23, 2013 The sizing is the reason I won''t buy the shirt. The medium is far too baggy in the arms but then length is ok. The small is too short but the fit is better. I''m 6 foot and normally take a medium or large in normal t-shirts. If you don''t mind the shirt being a bit shorter then go for a small if not a medium will be better but still baggy.

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted May 23, 2013 I think it''s the understanding on here for salad dodgers, is that you don''t deserve any advice until you go on a jog ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spudgfsh 0 Posted May 23, 2013 An alternative sizing question. I''ve got the last two home shirts and the last one was much better than the one before. My main problem with the first Errea kit was the size of the neck it was so small I had to deface it in the same way as Grant Holt did just to get it on (although the rest of the shirt fit fine). The new kit looks (on the internet) like it has the same issue.What is the neck sizing like in the new shirt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mervmeister 18 Posted May 23, 2013 I am also 6ft, atlhletic build.Small fits tight, medium baggy in places. Tight fit for me it is :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S10 Canary 0 Posted May 23, 2013 I''ve taken the plunge and ordered a small. I guess if it''s stupidly tight then i''ll have to go through the rigmarole and cost of sending it back for a medium. From what people have said though I think it should be fine. I''m a shade under 6ft and quite skinny and figure i''ll just tolerate it being a bit shorter to get the better fit. Once it turns up i''ll update this thread which might help other folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 132 Posted May 24, 2013 I got the M, don''t mind it being too baggy, good to wear over a jumper when going to away matches in winter time... I think it''s about the same as it was last time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Jenkins 0 Posted May 24, 2013 It''s will be music to the ears of the Fat Lads who were whining about not having shirts they could get into.The argument was along the lines that we should make everything bigger to accommodate them rather than them taking some responsibility for their own weight, and Health,as I recall.No wonder the NHS is struggling!!

S10 Canary 0 Posted May 27, 2013 So the small shirt came on Saturday but I''ve had such as busy BH i''ve only just tried it on. The body fits me perfectly, not too baggy or tight and not annoyingly short. Could either be worn on its own or would accomodate a tshirt underneath. The collar isn''t as tight as the one with the one we had in 11/12 and it features a fairly obvious holding stich so will be more difficult to rip a la Holt. The sleeves are just bloody confusing, they could easily be from a medium or a large at a push. They reach almost down to my elbows and seem a bit baggy. Whether i''ve got a duff one or not who knows. I am pleased I got a small though and think a medium would''ve been too big for how I like them. Wouldn''t hesitate to recommend it to any nearly 6ft skinny-ish guys! Hope that helps any distance buyers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
